The Valley: Persian Style star is shooting her shot! 

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is still expecting to play the scheduled FIFA World Cup games in Mexico this summer, despite the rampant cartel violence that has struck the region. Cartel violence ensued following the death of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, Mexico’s most-wanted fentanyl kingpin, was captured and killed on Sunday after authorities tracked his romantic partner to a secret rendezvous location this past weekend. He carried a $15 million U.S. bounty after rising to power following the arrest of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Oseguera Cervantes was the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and since his death, violence has spread across the country where at least 70 people have been killed.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut Infantino said he has “full confidence” in the games scheduled to be played, even the matches in June at Estadio Akron in Guadalajara – the largest city in Jalisco, which has been hit hard by cartel violence. There are four matches scheduled in Guadalajara, and 13 total matches in Mexico, with Mexico City and Monterrey also playing host during the World Cup. The first matches are on June 11 in Guadalajara and Mexico City. ‘EL MENCHO’ TRACKED TO SECRET RENDEZVOUS WITH ROMANTIC PARTNER BEFORE DEADLY RAID”Nobody has to move anything,” Infantino told the Miami Herald. “We are in constant contact with the presidency of Mexico, with the authorities. We have full trust in the authorities in Mexico, in President [Claudia] Sheinbaum and her team. We fully support them because we live in a world where things happen. Good things and bad things, situations happen. We don’t live on the moon, we live here. We need to deal with it, we need to cope with it.Infantino added that FIFA is “monitoring the situation, of course.” “Mexico is a football country. And the Mexicans, the authorities and also the people will do everything to ensure the World Cup, but also the playoffs, will be a celebration of football.”Sheinbaum also said she has “every guarantee” the World Cup will go on and there is “no risk” to fans thinking about heading to the matches in the country. Mexico is also set to host a World Cup playoff game next month featuring Jamaica on March 26. Soccer in the country has already been affected by the violence, as four matches were postponed on Sunday.   “The games are at the end of March, so we still have another month to see what happens; but it is making me very nervous, to be honest,” Michael Ricketts, the president of the Jamaican Soccer Federation, said in a statement per the New York Post. “We will be listening out for CONCACAF and FIFA to give us instructions [on] whether they are playing the games or whether they are immediately looking for other options.”Oseguera Cervantes’ capture and subsequent death marks one of Mexico’s most significant blows to drug trafficking and organized crime since President Donald Trump called for intensified crackdowns on cartel violence.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The man accused of squirting Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with a syringe of apple cider vinegar during a town hall in Minneapolis last month will remain in custody until he stands trial, according to court documents.Magistrate Judge David Schultz ordered Anthony Kazmierczak, 56, to remain in custody pending trial, citing “exceedingly serious and dangerous circumstances” of the assault allegations.”The Court further finds detention is warranted in this case because clear and convincing evidence shows that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of the community, should Mr. Kazmierczak be released pending trial,” Schultz wrote in the order of detention dated Monday.Omar was speaking about immigration policy and called for a transparent investigation and legal action against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as the abolition of the agency when the alleged attack happened. She also said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign or “face impeachment.”ILHAN OMAR HIT WITH UNKNOWN SPRAY AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS FROM CHAOTIC MINNEAPOLIS TOWN HALLKazmierczak allegedly admitted to Minneapolis police during his arrest that he had squirted vinegar on Omar.He was subsequently charged with one felony count of terroristic threats and one count of fifth-degree assault.BROTHER OF MAN ACCUSED OF SPRAYING ILHAN OMAR SAYS SUSPECT HATED SOMALI COMMUNITY FOR YEARSKazmierczak made an initial court appearance earlier this month.
